The Royal Arctic Institute is one of NJ’s great multifaceted bands. Blending together styles like smoky jazz-fusion with shadowy ambient country and slow-mo surf rock, this band is A VIBE. Be sure to catch their set at the our fest! For more info & tix go to: recordcratesunited.com/2025/11/20/a...

Tune in to www.em-radio.com tonight @ 7 to catch me spinning some of my favorite tracks and deep live cuts by all of the artists that are appearing at our Psych Ambient Daydream festival on Dec. 6. Grab tickets here: www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/...

returning after a few years to #JohnandPeters Saturday, Nov. 22nd, with two great bands #SlowNoche and #Ithinklikemidnight. A nice night of music in #NewHope -come on down.

Thank you kindly for having us be part of this compilation! Fun fact: this track is from our first attempt at recording the recent album on @centripetalforce.bsky.social. Also, here’s a more recent photo; due to the government shutdown, we’ve been forced to reduce band personnel.

Oh hi! Any #Atlanta or #Nashville folks on here? Time to break out the earplugs as Das Damen head south for the first time in, what, 30 years? Last time in ATL was with some breaking grunge band… who was that again? This time we are hitting with #BebeBuell!! #getinthevan #sst #twintone #subpop

thank you @madaecnerwal.bsky.social - now we gotta work on your algorhythm!

yup! 12/6 - mark the date! Thanks to @recordcratesunited.bsky.social and #prototype237 for making this happen!

"Freaks Day Out" in #RedHook this Sunday afternoon 3:00PM with #Tasca! See you under the Freakies' Tree!

ticket sold. See ya there.

Unfortunately, my friend has to part with his two-day VIP pass for the Dromedary Festival this weekend in Catskill. Yo La Tengo, Scrawl, Salem 66, plenty of ’80s/’90s favorites (plus some fresh faces). $72, with $10 going to a local food bank. DM me if you’re interested!

if i couldn't draw 40 people to a club in Bushwick on a Friday night, i wouldn't blame the club...

Thanks for making it out! #Ladiesnight

Our big weekish of rock is coming up fast! Next Thurs the 24th in #Hoboken at Sinatra Park, then the 25th in #DC at #galacticpanther, and the 26th in #LancasterPA. Timely "joke"? CEOs +1 welcome — we won’t tell HR. Oofa, I got a million of ’em but I gave them to Stephen Colbert :(

“Save The Waves: People for Public Media” was written up today in @bandcamp.com’s Essential Releases for July 11, 2025. Huge thanks to Mariana Timoney for the support. Grab your copy if you haven’t yet. Cassettes are running low! daily.bandcamp.com/essential-re...

and everyone is good on this? 3 posts in one day - i'm gonna get flagged by the social media gods....

Thank you friends @aquariumdrunkard.com ❤️ ! "A super-dreamy effort from this NYC-based instrumental combo, fulfilling the promise of their earlier releases and adding some welcome new elements." Two posts in one day? This is a busy news cycle i can get behind!

We're “live” today on @wfmu.bsky.social for the #scottwilliams show. 3:00PM . Recorded last week, then we added a few samples, replaced the rhythm section with Carole Kaye and Jim Keltner (thanks, click track),and let Yngwie Malmsteen overdub a bit. Mixed by Bob Rock. Otherwise, it’s what we played.

It’s true—we’ve got a few shows coming up in July! Kicking things off with some hometown pride in #Hoboken, then heading down to Alexandria, VA (just outside DC?), and back up to Lancaster, PA. Hope to see you there! #getinthevan @centripetalforce.bsky.social

Finally, next weekend we have two shows with #LukeSchneider and #PureWaves! First up on Friday at the amazing #Prototype237 in #PatersonNJ, then Sunday over to @mamatriedbk.bsky.social Come on out - these dudes have schlepped far to play some shows so #supportlivemusic ❤️

Big thanks to @recordcratesunited.bsky.social for debuting our video for "The Opener" - video done by @thejohnisjohn.bsky.social #video #rain #120Minutes

and just in case - anything this guy does on the Beach Boys is amazing - here was his latest 4 parter: 500songs.com/podcast/song...

Hello and happy #NotBandcampFriday! To celebrate, here are some codes for our new album "The Royal Arctic Institute"[email protected] centripetalforcerecords.bandcamp.com/yum p5zz-5wnf 8rtk-7w5m hf68-e9z7 jw32-38kv fhv5-hn69 m4bg-ve9z 9pxn-gbg6 y7cm-uxfk y5h7-jv59 y8qd-g82t tkrs-ufx7

Labor Day plans? @sugarblastmusic.bsky.social lined up a weekend so good it’ll probably get cancelled by Netflix. Third time for me—comfy shoes, hydration, and lots of “wait, is that…?” moments. See you there. I promise #DasDamen will play some different tunes than two years ago… maybe…

Some very kind word by @jenpkelly.bsky.social!

Thank you for listening.

How about some old school spieling in the new school format of a substack interview: Thanks #jimtesta: jimtestanj.substack.com/p/the-royal-...

Thank you @madaecnerwal.bsky.social Enjoy that gatefold art as well!

Some really nice words from #PrismReviews: prismreviews.wordpress.com/2025/05/07/t... @centripetalforce.bsky.social @centripetalforce.bsky.social

Thanks to @kenixfan.bsky.social for the kind words about our new album on @centripetalforce.bsky.social www.apessimistisneverdisappointed.com/2025/05/tell...

#BandcampFriday - and today is the release of our album "The Royal Arctic Institute." Hopefully, this album will provide some escape as the world falls apart. I know that is asking a lot from an album, but we tried. @centripetalforce.bsky.social therai.bandcamp.com/album/the-ro...

I did an awesome job of lining up shows around the release of our new record - if it was coming out in June....So that means if you wanna see us and don't wanna wait months, well come on down Saturday to #Berlin as we hit with #ofirganon and #vagueplot. #supportlivemusic

Now this is what we've been waiting for: deadline.com/2025/04/fyre... @dadadrummer.bsky.social

oh hi, so yes this Saturday at #Berlin we will be celebrating the release of our new album with #ofirganon and #vagueplot. Show starts at 7:00PM. We promise new songs and at least one new shirt (ok, new songs at least). #supportlivemusic www.ticketweb.com/event/the-ro...

Thank you!!!! @tylerwilcox.bsky.social @aquariumdrunkard.com ❤️

Nailed it! Thanks Spotify- I feel seen!

Does anyone wanna start a STARTER PACK of outlets bands should send upcoming local gig info? You know more than just posting on Bluesky two days before a show 😑....

Oh yeah #Philadelphia this SUNDAY at #DuboisRobesonPeoplesCenter with @mattgearymusic.bsky.social and #EvaSheppard! Early show starts at 5:00PM, and you don't even need to rush home to see #WhiteLotus. Come on down and quietly celebrate our upcoming album on @centripetalforce.bsky.social !

Oh yeah - @centripetalforce.bsky.social has released a second track from our upcoming album! Please give it a spin: therai.bandcamp.com/track/immer-... @centripetalforce.bsky.social @magicdoorrecording.bsky.social

I saw some shows today of bands not on #Bluesky! 1st up #MSSV at #MercuryLounge with a set at 6:30PM! Great show & it was over in time to go to this new (?) spot #CloseUp on Orchard where I saw #TonyMalaby with #BrandonLopez and the king himself #NasheetWaits. Killer- then got home for #WhiteLotus

went to see #suss (not on here?), and @immersionhq.bsky.social last night at @joespub.bsky.social (who make a nice martini). I saw this show in Austin last month, and it was great to get to see it at the end of the tour. #Nanocluster. #Sogood #Getinthevan

You can listen to the archived edition of last night's program at www.mixcloud.com/Sugarblast/s...

thank you @sugarblastmusic.bsky.social for the spin - and right before the might #Salem66! Oh wait, new Tortoise? What the what?? @centripetalforce.bsky.social

Fans of Prairiewolf, Luke Schneider, and The Far Sound, take note" - Nick P @ The Third Eye An interview with John Leon of @dasroyalarctic.bsky.social. He talks pedal steel, as well as themes working through the forthcoming album. The album drops May 2! thirdeyepsychrock.blog/2025/03/29/a...

Thanks to #thethirdye for the kind words and deep dive into the mind of #JohnLeon. Need some book recs? Check out:https://thirdeyepsychrock.blog/2025/03/29/a-conversation-with-the-royal-arctic-institute/ @centripetalforce.bsky.social

Thanks to @seawindofbattery.bsky.social for the special preview of 8 (!) tunes from our upcoming release! Thankfully, our new label @centripetalforce.bsky.social isn't concerned with the record leaking as the show is actually watermarked -so take that Napster!

Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.

@recordcratesunited.bsky.social ruling the airwaves! @centripetalforce.bsky.social

“the track lulls the listener into a cocooned corner, buffeted against the winds by their patient curl” thank you @ravensingstheblues.bsky.social @centripetalforce.bsky.social
